Why don't all basketball teams have closers?

[1UP]

The majority of the NBA lacks such a player. And you're asking a bunch of 19 year old kids to transform into a grizzly veteran 10 years their senior in game situations they've never been in? It's not that simple.

When you can find a shutdown defender that can knock down 95% of his clutch free throws in D2 basketball, let me know.

no not anger..... arrogance I mean we all love to relive our glory days and talk about how great we were/are. I set the bar low. I'm a washed up 2nd pg off the bench of a nothing school.

Hey exact same thing for me. It's just that I was also the closer

this is what I was referring to tongue in cheek about the "documented" best free throw shooter at sbr.

I had a contest with Samsncharge, the loser was banned for 2 months. you had like 30 mins to make a vid, upload it. and whoever had the most in a row won.

we underestimated how long it took to upload, so he never got his up and I won with this, 20 in a row

he had like 13 or somthing, it was embarrassing that he was that close to me, but I hadn't shot a ball in 6 months since my previous sbr basketball vid lol

You've got no idea how tough it is to come into a game after sitting on the bench and shoot. You'd probably have to be warming up on the sidelines for a while, but this really doesn't seem like a terrible idea.

ive been playing bball all my life and learned that its harder to shoot FTs with tired legs at the end of the game, than just going to the line fresh but without warming up

it could be different for you, but this idea has merit
